Granite pegmatite.
One larger and two smaller feldspar quarries in granite pegmatite. Kjelevann is the name of the farm about 830 m south of the quarries.
The coordinates are given for the farm.

The name is spelled differently by the different map solutions:
norgeskart.no : Kjelevann
kart.1881.no : Kjellevatn
According to the resolution "Vedtak etter stadnamnlova" in the Birkenes Municipality and Kartverket, the correct spelling is now Kjelevann.

In addition to the three separately registered localities, there are two more features that most probably are two prospects.
These should be confirmed in the field. Their coordinates are:
58.54293,7.99243
58.54129,7.99079
